I hope ucla gets into the final 4, Which is my least favorite of these teams,
Part of me really wants to see a Gonzaga, Loyola final game. I think that would be fun.
Add on.
Pac 12 up to 3rd in kenpoms conference ratings.

Damn it UCLA. It would have been nice to have 4 women's teams in the sweet 16 to go with the 4 men's teams.

Yeah, no. You really wanna see those a'holes get to a fourth FF since our last one? That's not the sort of thing I can root for. So I'll respectfully dissent. I'm not sure you want to put wind in the Bruins' sails again.

My bracket picks have been miserable. With that said:
Loyola over Oregon St
Baylor over Nova
Arkansas over Oral
Houston over Cuse
Gonzaga over Creighton
Florida State over Michigan
Alabama over UCLA
USC over Oregon

Why aren't games starting until Saturday?
Normally Thursday- Sunday
Last week Friday-Monday
This week Saturday-Tuesday?
I don't get why

That's what I was thinking... more off days means more chances for things to go wrong.

Especially with the Final Four next Saturday, four days after the Elite Eight games.

Both defenses are really good. I expect Loyola will shoot much better in the second half but pulling for the Beavers.

Low-level game, but congrats to the Beavs. Nice to feel good about anything these days. I’ll laugh if OSU ends up playing an 11 seed to go to the Final Four. “Tinkle is a better coach than . . . “! Aw fuck, never mind.

That's great. Thanks Larry!!

These wins mean so much more than just these front line dollars. Can you imagine vegas next year where instead of just AZ fans buying all of the tickets, you will each of these fan bases rolling into town for another shot at the magic. That ticket next year won’t be an easy one.

Really happy for the Beavers and Tinkle. They have been an afterthought for years. Hope this helps them land some recruits. The PAC need 6 teams a year in the tourney minimum.

Not really. IMO the Zags are just good from the ground up. We all recognize their offense, but they are up in the grill on D as well, and they ain't slow. If they lose to SC or Oregon it will take a confluence of extraordinary unfavorables. If things go as typical I think they'll win.

Only if Gonzaga has a really bad game.
They are the most complete team and I don't think its close

They’re the best team in the field and I don’t know that it’s close. Doesn’t mean they’ll win it all, but it will take an extraordinary effort to beat them.

This article goes to show how spoiled we Wildcat fans have become, expecting an elite 8 or final 4 just about every year.

Creighton looked TERRIBLE, though. They had to be one of the weaker S16 teams.
Anyway, I’m just not as awed by Zaga. If they roll the Ducks or Trojans, I’ll stand corrected.

Creighton
did look just plain
off. They missed a ton of shots around the rim, and their shooting rhythm was way hurried. I was expecting a closer game.

I have ragged on Tyger but he is what kept UCLA afloat for the first 10 minutes. We are seeing what we lost in Javon because of the allegations from ESPN. There is no allegation of us paying players to come to Arizona.
